Recent concepts
• Type II reaction
• IgE receptor on
epidermal DC
• CD4>CD8
• IL-4, IL-5, IL-13
• also IFN-γ
• Sensitization via
airways or gut
Allergic contact dermatitis
ACD
• Type I reaction
• 2 phases:
sensitization,
elicitation
• Haptens, bind to
keratinocytes
• CD4, CD8: IFN-γ
• CD8>CD4
• IL-1, TNF-α
• CD8: Perforin,
granzyme, Fas/FasL
• Type I reaction
• Skin barrier
disruption,
denaturation of
keratins, cell
membrane damage
• IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12,
IL-18, TNF-α, GM-
CSF, ICAM

ICD
Atopic dermatitis
AD
IL-17 in ACD
• IL-17 deficient mice: impaired contact and delayed
type hypersensitivity responses
• IL-17+ T cells near spongiosis
• IL-17 is produced by Ni-specific T cells• IL-17 augmented expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM) and
proinflammatory cytokines (IL-8) by keratinocytes
• Subpopulations Th1/IL-17 >> Th1• induce ICAM-1 expression on keratinocytes
• cytotoxic toward Ag-loaded target cells

IL-17 in AD
• IL-17 detected in acute AD lesions
• Number of peripheral blood IL-17+ CD4+ T cells
correlated with disease severity
• Extracellular vesicles derived from Staph.aureus
induce AD-like lesions and IL-17
• Staph.aureus toxin B (SEB) enhanced IL-17
production by Th17 cells isolated from APT to D.pter.
• IL-17 induced production of HBD by keratinocytes

IL-22
• Produced by Th17 and Th22 cells
• IL-17 and IL-22 expression in ACD
• Upregulated in AD, independent Th22 cells
• IL-22 inhibited epidermal differentiation and induced
proinflammatory cytokine expression
• Induced epidermal hyperplasia in chronic AD

IL-17, IL-22 and remodeling
• IL-17 stimulated eosinophils to produce profibroticcytokines (TGF-β, IL-11)
• Eosinophils expressing TGF-β, MMP-9, CCL11 correlated with tenascin deposition and tenascin C+
cells in skin diseases
• IL-22 mediated dermal inflammation and acanthosisin psoriasis
• IL-6 or IL-23 induce IL-22 production by T cells
• TGF-β inhibited IL-22

Methods
• Punch biopsies from positive patch tests with– Aeroallergen (APT)
– Contact allergen (CPT)
– Irritant SLS (IPT)
at days D2, D3 and D4
• Immunofluorescence staining with Ab against– IL-17, CD3
– IL-21, IL-22, IL-23
– IFN-gamma, IL-13
– IL-1, IL-8, TGF-beta, IL-33
– Tenascin C, procollagen-3, MMP-9
• Confocal microscopy

Summary
In AD, ACD, ICD:
• Expression of IL-17• APT (maximum D2) and CPT, IPT (maximum D4)
• 30-50% of IL-17+ cells are Th17 cells
• Cytokines driving Th17 differentiation andactivation (IL-1, IL-6, IL-23, IL-33, TNF-α, TGF-β)
• Expression of IL-21 and IL-22
• Correlation of IL-22+T cells and eosinophils
• Th17 cell numbers correlate with MMP-9+
eosinophils and tenascin C+ cells
